Bonkerz Comedy Club in Las Vegas welcomes back Grandma Lee for the remainder of the summer

LAS VEGAS – June 21, 2010 –Las Vegas just can’t get enough of the sassy senior, which is why “America’s Got Talent” finalist Grandma Lee will be returning to headline at Bonkerz Comedy Club at Palace Station July 5 through Sept. 4 nightly. Fans will have a chance to see Grandma Lee uncut and uncensored.

The Oklahoma native was ironically inspired to take up comedy after the death of her husband and a series of odd jobs such as news reporter and directory assistance operator. In 1995, Lee decided to attend a local comedy workshop to get her laughing again. Since then, this outrageous 76-year-old grandmother has electrified audiences all over the country with her off-color humor and spunk.

Lee won the hearts of millions and made it all the way to the grand finale last season on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” making it her personal goal to help older people realize that it’s never too late to follow your dreams. She won the 2003 Las Vegas Comedy Festival at the MGM Grand and was chosen as a finalist for the 2004 season of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” She is so popular with TV audiences that “Last Comic Standing” had her on as a special guest during three different seasons and chose her as a Top 10 Favorite Comic on the show. Guests at Bonkerz can get a daily, controversial dose of their favorite senior, uncut and uncensored, like never before.

“I’m really excited to be back again for another round at Bonkerz Comedy Club. The audience here in Las Vegas really is the best,” said Grandma Lee.
